Few jobs will remain unchanged by AI and automation. According to the World Economic Forum, 59% of the global workforce will need reskilling by 2030. Within the realm of internal communication, developments in GenerativeAI mean any work that involves writing and documentation is set to be transformed by increasingly sophisticated digital tools that promise enhanced operational efficiency. What does this mean for internal communicators? In this episode Jen, Dom and Cat chat with IoIC fellow Joe Salmon to explore the future of internal communication.
This year, the IoIC published a new whitepaper to explore the future of internal communication.

It strives to understand both risk and opportunity.
Next-generation technology paves the way for doing more human work – work that no technology can replicate.

In this episode, Jen, Dom and Cat are interviewed by IoIC board member and fellow Joe Salmon. Together they discuss the factors driving change for internal communication and ways in which internal communicators can prepare for an altogether exciting future.
